What do the shiites believe about umaayads?
Answer A (shia view)shia believes "the cursed tree" in the Quran is Umayyads family tree.shia curses Umayyads and reject them. Yazid, who killed shia Imam Imam Hussain S.A was from Umayyads. and also other Shia Imams were killed by Umayyads. shia believes Abusufyan (founder of Umayyad governments) was who made biggest harm to Islam and in the name of Islam destroyed Islam in fact and made a fake version of Islam that continues today. shia consider Umayyads enemies of Islam but in the name of Islam. according to shia at Badr war many of relatives of Abu sufyan (Umayyads) were killed by prophet and Ali S.A. and this made a great envy of prophet and Ahl ul Bayt in heart of Umayyads and they killed and destroyed real Muslims and real Islam as much as they could in response.

What Muslim group accepts only the descendants of the Umayyads as rightful rulers of Muslims?
There is no such group. The Umayyads were supported by the Sunnis because they had temporal power, but the Sunnis never had a requirement that the ruler need be a descendant of the Umayyads; their precondition for having the right to rule was having the power to effectively govern.Perhaps this question confuses the Shiite requirement that a rightful ruler be a descendant of Ali ibn AbuTalib. Ali and the Umayyads were enemies and are in-no-way related.

Were people unhappy with the Umayyad's rule because the Umayyads favored Shiites?
No. Under the Sunni Umayyads, Shiites were quite strongly discriminated against. After Yazid I martyred Hussein, the Shiites made it their mission in life to oppose every action of the Umayyad dynasty. It did not help matters that the Umayyads tortured and murdered Shiite Imams and Infallibles, leading to irreconcilability between the Shiites and the Umayyads.The anger happened specifically because Umayyads targeted Shiites and Mawali Sunnis (Sunnis who were not Arabs) for violence. They also had issues with control over the vast distances of their empire as well as noble Arab families that resented the Umayyads' rise and wanted power. (One of these rival families was the Abbassids, who would eventually take power from the Umayyads in a coup d'etat.)
Did the Umayyads rule from Medina?

However, the Umayyads never ruled from Medina.
